These are thoughts

Mizuki pov.
It... it's in!

I smile, but then I just realized what I had just done.

Everyone's eyes were on me.

Shit

"That was amazing!" "How did you do that?" "It was even higher that Hinata's jump!" "Hey!"

They were surrounding me and asking me a bunch of questions.

I cover my ears.

"Please, stop." I whispered.

They all stopped asking questions.

Someone taps my shoulder. It was Sugawara.

"You ok?" He asks. I nod.

Daichi tell everyone to back away, and to stop asking questions.

I take a few deep breaths.

I'm ok now.

I look up and see Hinata looking at me.

I jump back, holding back my punch, cause my reflexes.

"Oh, sorry I scared you!"

I sigh.

"Its fine."

He comes up to me.

"Hey, I have a question." He tells me.

"Hinata!" Daichi says.

"It's fine, what is it?"

"Are you going to keep playing volleyball? You're so good at it, so you should definitely play! Or what if you coached us? Your really good, plus Coach is your brother too!"

I flush. "Ummmm, I donno..."

"Hey, Mizuki?" Kageyama asks.

"Ya?"

"Well, I was just wondering," he starts.

"Are you the Falcon?"

Silence.

My eyes get big.

"Now that you think about it, that was a really high jump." Someone says.

"Ya, and a powerful spike too."

They start nodding a bit.

"Guys..." Daichi says.

"Please..." I say. They all look at me.

"Please don't ever call me again." I say.

Then, I run past them and grab my other shoes.

I run away from the gym.

I keep running away, as fast as I could.

I'm not the Falcon anymore. I will never be the Falcon again. I won't go back.

My eyes started watering.

Deep breaths Mizuki, calm down.

I stop, and I relax a little.

I look around.

I was in a park. That I've never seen before.

Haha crap.

I change into my other shoes.

Shit, I ruined these volleyball shoes. I'll buy a pair later to replace it.

I take off my kneepads too.

What time is it? Wait, I don't have my phone.

I facepalm myself.

Argghhh I'm so stupid!

I look up at the sky. Without realizing it, I start walking a little too.

School ends at around 3pm I think. And I wasn't at the gym for a long time, was I? Maybe its-

I bump into something.

"Oof"

I step back. I had bumped into a person.

Crap.

I quickly bow.

"I'm really sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

"Hey, it's fine." They said.

I look up. There's two boys. One had light brown hair and the other had black hair. Both were really tall, and wore a light blue and white jacket.

The one with light brown hair looks at my hand.

"Hey, do you play volleyball?"

I look at my hand.

"Well...."

"We were going to practice just now. Wanna join us?" The one with black hair asked.

Well, I don't really wanna see another volleyball right now, but they seem nice, and it might be safer to go with them than wandering around...

"Sure!" I smile.

"My name is Takahiro Hanamaki." Said the one I accidentally bumped into.

"And my name is Matsukawa Issei. Nice to meet you....?"

"I'm Ukai Mizuki, but please call me Mizuki."

They nod.

"Let's go, otherwise Iwaizumi is gonna get mad." Said Matsukawa.

"Ya." Takahiro nodded.

I look at them, confused.

"Oh, Iwaizumi is one of our teammates."

I nod. "Okay. Let's go then."

They start walking, and I followed.

It was kinda awkward. No one really talked.

As we were walking, I saw people looking at me.

Shit, why are they looking at me?

Then I remember what I'm wearing.

Oh.

Takahiro notices. He takes off his jacket and gives it to me.

"Thank you!" I smile at him, and he blushes a little.

"Um, also you can call me Hanamaki."

I nod. "Ok, Hanamaki-san."

We keep walking, and I actually talked to them. We talked about our favorite foods, and stuff like that.

After a few minutes, we arrive.

I see a sign.

Aoba Johsai High School

It's a big high school, bigger than Karasuno.

"C'mon, the gym is this way." Matsukawa says.

I nod and follow them.

They change their shoes, and go inside.

I take off my shoes too, but then I realize that I kinda ruined the volleyball shoes.

Whoops.

Matsukawa sees me looking at the shoes.

"We have some extra shoes over here." He gestures me to follow him.

I go inside.

Woah, the gym is big!

I follow Matukawa. He gets a pair of volleyball shoes to try on.

"Do those fit?" He asks.

"Yup, thank you!"

Matsukawa and I join Hanamaki, who was talking to a boy with spiky dark brown hair and a boy with wavy brown hair.

"Who's she?" The boy with spiky hair asks.

"That's the girl I literally just mentioned. We bumped into her at the park." Hanamaki said.

I bow at the two other boys.

"Hello, my name is Ukai Mizuki, but please call me Mizuki."

"My name is Iwaizumi Hajime." The spiky haired boy said.

"And I'm sure you know who I am, right pretty girl?" The other boy said.

I looked at him, confused.

"Ummmmm, am I supposed to know who you are?" I ask.

He sulks a bit.

The other three boys laugh.

"Oh, I'm really sorry! I just moved here yesterday, so I don't really know anyone..." I say, worried.

"I'm Oikawa Toruu! I'm sure you've heard of my name somewhere?"

I look at him with a blank face.

The other boys laugh again.

Oikawa sulks again, and begins to walk away.

"Oops. I didn't mean to hurt him..." I mumble.

Hanamaki puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine."

I nod. I look around. I only see the four and a few other people. The nets were up, but they weren't really doing much.

"Um, so what are you guys supposed to be doing right now?"

"We're waiting for our coach. He said he might be late..." Iwaizumi answers.

"Wait, Mizuki, you can play right? Maybe you can help coach us."
Matsukawa said.

Do I want to? No. But it's the least I can do, since they're letting me stay here...

I look at the clock.

5:28

I guess I'll help out. I don't wanna face my brother right now oh and I  have to call him too, so I might as well stay...

"Sure, I can help out!"
